Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

Sāṅkhyas are those who are devoted to knowledge and have renounced the world. They reach the state called mokṣa. The same state is reached by Yogins also — but indirectly, through the attainment of true knowledge and renunciation — by those who perform their duties as a means of attaining knowledge, dedicating them to the Īśvara, and having no selfish end in view. That man sees rightly who sees that Sāṅkhya and Yoga are one, as leading to an identical result.
